split album with elizabeth Veldon on black circle records


http://blackcirclerecords.bandcamp.com/album/polish-america-amnesia

elizabeth's approach via sampling from polish and american films stretched or otherwise transformed into sheeny vectors of not exactly drone but some kind of "whatever it is" she does do so well. my first track takes the aural essay approach via sampling lou reed, polish hip-hop, techno, choral vanguradism and my second liberally mistreating penderecki's monumental "paradise lost" (a work that i might characterize as one of the greatest accidental noise compositions ever to assault our sense and sensibility), all in order to think about what it is people are trying to feel towards through their needs for constant entertainment. my final piece, "witkacy's impotence clock" is perhaps more of an homage than a critique of the suicided writer/painter/photographer/drug experimentalist, composed of ticks and tocks, house-hold devices, small percussion elements close-miked and digitally recast into russolian cacophonic inherence. and it's all free for download.
